Hailing from the cold snowscapes of northern Finland, Dawn of Relic use a fascination with the works of HP Lovecraft to paint their bleak, foreboding soundscapes. Alternating between calm acoustic passages and frenetic blast sections, the band prefer to retain an air of mystery and anonymity about them which serves their unusual style of dark metal well. D.o.R. explores mythical tales of cosmic horror, through madness, desperation and imagined-dreamworlds.
